Since I was on a roll with other hats, as soon as I completed the last rainbow hat, I started on a green uber slouchy hat I had seen a pattern for. I thought it was cute and something I hadn't done before, so I'd give it a whirl.
By the end of the meeting the second day, I had a fair amount done. It was rapidly growing into something. And growing. And growing. It was the hat that just kept getting BIGGER.
When I pulled out the hat in progress in front of The Guy he jumped back in surprise because it took up THE ENTIRE ROOM. Not really, but it was quite large considering what I normally work on. He laughed when I stretched it out the full length and said, "It could be a toilet seat cover!"
It stuck. Every time I looked at it, I started laughing as I imagined our house covered in knitted doily type things including toilet seat covers of the 70s (but hand made so it's cool!)
Once I neared the end of the project though, it started looking like a real hat. I'm happy with the end results, but will not be keeping it. It belongs with someone else!

| Back shot. This was difficult considering I had my camera over my head. But look at how small my bum looks! And it shows my back cleavage. HOT. |
Update: 2014
I sold it to someone who loved it. I'm glad they did. Their toilet must be very warm.
Glad to hear it found a happy home.
ReplyDeleteIt did. I had forgotten who picked it up, but it was a good friend of mine!
DeleteI hope you didn't use toilet seat cover in your description to sell it :)
ReplyDeleteIt turned out cute. Glad you found someone that loved it.
I didn't, Amy! And the woman who bought it really likes it!
